But isn't it possible to have the secondary MX be a near-clone of the
primary, and do the delivery itself to the clients instead of sending
the mails back to the primary when it comes back up ? This implies
of course adequate configuration.
Is it unadvisable ? If so why ? I'm asking because I about to install
such a setup here.
